Adams apparently told Fisher his preference after the Titans' 59-0 demolition last week at the hands of the New England Patriots, according to the report.

But during the Titans' bye week, Adams was more insistent about starting Young, The Tennessean reported.

"I have been wanting [Fisher] to play Vince Young more because [Kerry] Collins has been having his problems out there," Adams told The Tennessean last week. "I just think we need to find out how well [Young] can do.

"If you don't play the guy and lose all your games, it is hard for you to see what he can do for you. Vince has won a lot of games for us.''

On Monday, Fisher declined to say whether Young or Collins would start against the Jaguars, citing "competitive reasons."

"Both quarterbacks had a good week, but [Collins] had an
especially good week last week," Fisher said. "I'm not going to
go into details about the lineup changes. Those are competitive
issues."

In an interview on WKRN-TV Tuesday night, Fisher said that the quarterback decision would "be revealed over the next couple of days."

He denied any tension with Adams.

"We talk. We've been communicating through the whole process, and we don't have any issues," he said. "Despite what you hear, despite what you read, the decisions we make are collective decisions."

The Titans practiced Tuesday and had their first team meetings since returning from their bye.

The Titans (0-6) are one of three remaining winless teams in the
league -- St. Louis and Tampa Bay are both 0-7. Fisher does want to
shake up things for a team that has lost eight straight games
dating to last season, after Tennessee sprinted to a 10-0 start
en route to the NFL's best mark at 13-3.

AFC South blog

ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.

"We've had a week to do some different things. And especially
considering the circumstances we're in right now with the record,
there's things that you need to do differently," Fisher said.
"Let's just say I'm not going to be as specific and [will be]
open-ended from a competitive standpoint."

Collins has completed 108 of 197 passes with five touchdowns and
eight interceptions this season. His receivers also have dropped a
number of passes, stalling drives and contributing mightily to all of
the losses.

"It's really no different than what we've been saying since
Week 1. We have to improve around him. We have to get open. We have
to make the tight catch," Fisher said of the team around Collins.
"We have to run after the catch. We have to make more plays. He's
putting the ball where he needs to put it for the most part, and we
just need to help him."

The Titans have been down this path before, as Young replaced
Collins during a winless start in 2006. Young went on to win
Offensive Rookie of the Year, helping Tennessee finish 8-8 after an
0-5 start.

Collins was signed just before the '06 season. He went
12-3 as the starter in 2008 and signed a two-year, $14 million deal this
offseason to return.

Since injuring his knee in last year's season opener,
accompanied by a bizarre incident a day later in which police were
called to search for him, Young has not had any meaningful playing
time for the Titans. His only appearances this season came late in
the last two blowout losses.
